If this is your Summer of fresh starts and a healthier approach to food, well Blackmores and Bondi Harvest have you covered. Blackmores have recently launched their new Superfoods + Nature Boost range offering six nutritional powders suitable for a host of recipes including: single origin cacao, chia, matcha green tea, coconut water, super greens and a wild blueberry blend. We’ve been playing around with the wild blueberry blend which gives a beautiful violet colour, making every smoothie look seriously impressive.
At the launch we were lucky enough to see the Bondi Harvest boys in action developing recipes using the products. We were most impressed with the zuchinni & chimichurri bowl using the super greens. Usually green powders can be an overpowering taste but it was complemented beautifully with the chimichurri. Another favourite was the Breakfast Superfood Mud Bowl developed by Bondi Harvest especially for Blackmores. It’s deliciously rich and decadent but chock-full of healthy ingredients! And lucky for us and you, they gave us the recipe! Check it out below.
Congratulations to Kate for her winning suggestion of a chocolate cherry cheesecake!
The winner will be announced on this page on Wednesday 16th at 8pm.

Using the single origin cacao I’d make a raw dark chocolate cherry cheesecake with hazelnut and date base for Christmas feasting!

So many possibilities! Cacao/Chai seeds in Bondi Harvest’s Mocha Energy Balls, cacao in their raw chocolate avocado slice and wild blueberry blend/chai seeds in their Berry and Chai Popsicles!
I would mix in a blender coconut water, with supergreens powder and then throw a spoonful of chia seeds. Shake it all up and wait ten minutes so the chia seeds become nice and sticky.
